Hannity is not leaving, but it does appear that he'll be losing his 9 pm slot to Megyn Kelly. I wouldn't mind if they dialed down Shep Smith's hours.

FNC CEO Roger Ailes, being interviewed by Fox Business News anchor Neil Cavuto at a 21st Century Fox investors confab in Los Angeles this afternoon, said Megyn Kelly has earned a primetime slot on the net and Sean Hannity is a brand “viewers love and want to see.” Asked about a report Kelly was getting Hannity’s 9 PM timeslot: “All of our stars will be back,” adding the network has “new deals with Hannity and Greta and Shep.” While giving Hannity a ringing endorsement and reiterating that Kelly had earned a better timeslot and “will be in our primetime line up,” he did not get into specifics on either. He did, however, say that Smith’s newscast will look different in the fall. “Shep and I have been working quietly on something we’ll roll out probably in mid-September, about how news is presented,” Ailes explained. “I think it’s done in an old-fashioned way and I think we have a better way of working on it.” He called Smith “the premiere newsman in the country.”http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/report-megyn-kelly-getting-sean-hannitys-fnc-timeslot/

The younger demographic gets their "news and opinions" from smarmy comedy shows and reddit. The more thoughtful ones watch Sharpton on MSNBC.

No one's watching Sharpton.

After reading this, now I see why Fox might be moving Hannity out of his 9pm time slot. It looks like (on this one day -- i didn't look at any others), Rachel Maddow narrowly edged out Hannity with the 25-54 year-olds, as did Lawrence O'Donnell.

But FOX destroys in almost every single time slot. I think Anderson Cooper got creamed by a 3:1 margin.
